Every collection hides its own personal meaning, revealing its carefully encoded message little by little, through subtle details, a particular palette of colours, or a specific string of silhouettes. For Marta Gorczyca, “Samurau” came together like a fashionable manifesto, inspired by women and designed to encourage them to reveal their unique strengths through a relevant choice of outfits. Regardless of status, background or limitations, every…

10 breathtaking fashion photos. If I had any foresight, I’d have been keeping a list of these throughout the year: the most beautiful shots from the most beautiful fashion shoots that our amazing contributors have sent us in 2013. If I had, by now the list would be very long. We get an incredible amount of photoshoots submitted to us, and I’ve fallen in love…

With the knowledge of bringing fashion to life in a creative and consolidating way, photographer Marta Moosiatko Streng stirs this fashion shoot into animation with life’s active happenings, colours and the rustic beauty of a living a simple life. Stylist, Ciuchosza, delves into the different layers and diversifications of fashion in this incredibly varied and explorative fashion shoot. Moving from the simplicity of solid colours…

Morning dew soothes the injured foot, which burned across the hot coals on the evening of his hatred… Where there’s springtime there’s hope, Marta Moosiatko Streng seems to be saying in this piece of work. Rows of blossoming trees span away to vanishing point, fields of yellow flowers blanket the distant hills. Innocence may be lost but our two protagonists – models Aneta Nalinska and…

One of the many reasons we find ourselves constantly drawn towards the fascinating world of fashion lies in the fact that in its universe alone we can freely feed upon the most beautiful of fantasies. A fairytale in the midst of reality, Marta Moosiatko Streng‘s photo shoot captures fragments of time that instead on recounting another happy ending, crumbles the illusion making place for deception.

Winter can be both magical and sad, breathtakingly beautiful and melancholic, uplifting and decadent. It holds the power to make the time stand still, but at the same time builds infinity bridges in between worlds. Photographer Marta Moosiatko Streng turned snow into a “suicidal marathon of positive thoughts”, seeking lost answers and pursuing the long road towards spring together with model Weronika Potocka.

Drawing inspiration from Shirin Neshat’s visually contrasting work of art, a sum of black and white photographs, famous for their powerful hidden messages and symbolic undertones, Marta Gorczyca designed her own take on duality for autumn / winter 2013, following into the same path of conflicting realities. “Therefore, leather is combined with satin and silk. Every outfit includes natural leather to a larger or smaller extent.…

Coldness is representative of emptiness. The snow-dusted road in Marta Streng’s shoot Everything Is Illuminated is metaphorical of that frosty heart, the styling by Ciuchosza a mix of hardness and vulnerability manifest in motorcycle boots and tulle dresses. And then, breaking down the icy barriers, a butterfly and a green bow; life anew amidst the snow.

Without struggle there is no progress. Marta Streng’s latest photoshoot, They Don’t Care About Us, is something of an artistic representation of the fact. At least, as far as I can interpret it. In the opening scenes the model is lying alone on a summit, holding a bunch of wildflowers close to her chest. Covered in a fine white silt, she’s like an object left…

There’s one shot in Marta Streng‘s latest shoot that reminds me, for some reason or maybe no reason at all, of Audrey Hepburn at the end of Breakfast At Tiffany’s. It’s the look of concern mixed with distress, of defiance mixed with resignation, that frantically flashes across her face when she’s looking for Cat in the pouring rain.
